Did you ever know
As you strolled with ease
Down your rosy path
I walked by your side gingerly
My path strewn with thorns
My soles raw from keeping up
tears ever inward

Yet I smiled to the world
alien and friendless
alone in my secret agony
a madness you see
no one would
begin to comprehend

Did you ever know
As you strode ahead
I could walk no more
You never looked back
Not a single glance
To where I stood
Helpless

Now I must find
my way back
To where I once belonged
All the way once again
This time alone…
